Not currently...

XPath is partially supported right now, as long as you don't want
to find the parent of an attribute/namespace or used the id() function.

I was also recently notified that it has problems with non-English
characters (umlauts, specifically). So, it's still a work-in-progress,
but bang on it, and tell me what doesn't work.
(I'll be releasing a slightly upgrade version by the end-of-the-week,
hopefully).
